WA WA - Daryle Keith Hams, 44, Spokane, 18 August 1998

[sasha17]

Daryle Keith Hams has been missing from Spokane, Washington since August 18, 1998. He disappeared with a green, white and gold 1978 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck with the Washington license plate number TC 1547, which is registered in the name of a female relative, Shirlee Hams. It has a yellow hood which is not the original hood. Both Daryle and the truck are still missing.

Shirlee Hams reported him missing on October 25, 1998. He left his expensive tools behind, which is uncharacteristic of him; he also left his dentures.

Daryle is 5'11" and 175 to 200 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He had a mustache at the time of his disappearance. He has a scar on his nose and a homemade tattoo of either the words "Lake Inc" or "Lark Inc" in blue ink on his shoulder or forearm. He is missing some teeth. He is missing his left thumb below the knuckle.

He must have left in a hurry if he left his dentures behind! Either that or expected to be back very quickly. I wonder if he lived alone and if this is why it took so long to report him missing. This is an odd one!

Bumping for Daryle. It's always strange to me when someone AND a vehicle go missing. I wonder if it was common for him to go out driving without his dentures?

Somewhat unnerving that he wasn't reported as missing for > 2 months; I'm struggling with this. It would appear he had been married for only a couple of years (marriage license info published in Dec 27, 1995, The Spokesman Review). His MIL passed on August 17, 1997 (one year almost to the day he disappeared).

He wore partials, who knows for what teeth, so perhaps not such a "thing" that he wouldn't take them with him, if in fact he voluntarily left.
